In the section "Building a shared libpython":

"In particular, the library likely object files using
position-independent code (PIC) if PIC flags are needed for 
the shared
library."

I expect something goes between "likely" and "object," but I 
don't know what it might be.  My guess (without actually 
knowing how it works) is that the paragraph should read:

If you enable this feature, the same object files will be used 
to create a static library as well from the same object files. 
Note that these objects will consist of position-independent 
code (PIC) on platforms where PIC flags are needed for the 
shared library.

Would the sentence be correct if the world "contains" is
added between "likely" and "object"?

I've clarified this paragraph in the README in revision 1.176.
